We use civic engagement project among high school students from an ethnically diverse population, which would combine research on the history of notable Blacks (African American, Haitian, Caribbean, and Africans) from Worcester with the musical and culinary arts. Music has always helped us in appreciating a diversity of ideas and experiences and serves as an important cultural form in which people preserve their history
In a similar fashion, food traditions are often rooted in historical meaning and serves as the vehicle for the transmission of oral narratives. By combining musical and culinary heritage with history we provide a more comprehensive backdrop in which to tell Black’s collective story.

The students will write poetry and poems about their history as lived in Worcester. This will appear in the Culinary and Musical Arts Cookbook and included in the UNITEY Newsletter, which the Cookbook is for sale at the event. The end product will be presented to the Worcester community in a series of events that celebrate all three mediums: history, culinary and music arts.
